Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A High Court sitting in Lokoja, Kogi State, on Wednesday restrained the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from infringing on the fundamental human rights of Alhaji Yahaya Bello, a former governor of Kogi State.

The court gave the restraining order in a two hour judgment it delivered at the High Court 4 presided over by Hon. Justice I.A Jamil, in suit no HCL/68/M/2020.

The court restrained the EFCC from arresting, detaining and prosecuting the applicant except as authorised by the Court.

This is a definite order following the earlier interim injunction given.

The judgment followed the suit brought before the court by Alhaji Yahaya Bello, the applicant, seeking to enforce his fundamental rights against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
